Changed fuel filter. Was pretty manky. Glad I changed it. But I didnt see any of that black pitting that some people talk about when they run e85. And Ive been on it for 3 years now.

Cleaning out garage after car has been hibernating.

Ive bled the shit out of the brakes yesterday. Brake pedal feels abit soft. Do have new pads. While the car was standing the reservoir was empty, soooo I presume the ABS unit was also drained. Am I meant to be doing something specific to get the air out of the ABS? There seems to be zero air in the lines.

Ill go for a proper drive, bed brakes in and see how it goes.

ok,

brakes are now all good. have feeling no spongy pedal and no squeals.

Had some trouble bedding them in as they just started squealing for a while. So I did decided to go harder on the stopping, few of those cleared it right up haha. QFM HPX are pretty good for a street pad Id say. Doesnt look like they throw much dust which is always a bonus.

My racepace front pipe was no where near to fitting on the car. But after countless alterations, it now is now the highest sitting 3"-3.5" front pipe I have seen to date, only sits just lower of the x member. Sounds pretty grumpy now.

If anyone wants a great exhaust shop around the central coast region, I highly recommend TM Performance exhaust in Erina. David is an absolute legend.

Car is booked in for a touch up tune so I will be sure to update then.

Time to try some of this stuff. It gets a good rap from the guys over on the detail forums. Meant to last a few months aswell.

It's brilliant stuff; one of my detailer mates put me on to it.

So good on dark coloured cars.

Update on collinite.

I love it! Best wax/sealant I have ever used. This is only based on ease of application and the fact that I experience zero smudge.

Out of all waxes I have used, none have removed as easy as this one.

Stay tuned for longevity test. Let's see how long it will bead.

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
